Usage of vaccine

Puppies are vaccinated for the first time after birth. It is generally recommended to get the first shot from the sixth week, which is the 42nd day. Then the next injection is given every 21 days. After the three-shot combined vaccine injection is completed. Wait two weeks before receiving the rabies vaccine.

From now on, the same vaccination will be replenished every year based on the date of the third injection.

The rabies vaccine is usually given once every 2-3 years

Now in Europe and the United States, another method of vaccine injection is beginning to emerge. A single vaccine for a disease is selected every year and injected alternately to avoid the use of the vaccine. excess. At the same time, antibody testing is done every year to find out which antibodies are insufficient and strengthen them in time. Because there has been no relevant attempts and research, I will not comment.

Theoretically, the immunity provided by the vaccine can last for about 1-3 years. However, canine infectious diseases in China are very serious, and the related antibody detection cost is higher than that of the vaccine. Therefore, it is recommended to inject the vaccine once a year in China to strengthen immunity. .

You will regret it if you get it wrong

All vaccines can only be used on healthy dogs. Dogs with any health problems cannot be vaccinated.

Before the injection, it must be confirmed that the dog has no symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, coughing, and fever. Therefore, when a regular hospital injects a vaccine, the temperature will be taken first.

Dogs should not be vaccinated if they have sub-health conditions, such as malnutrition, listlessness, poor appetite, etc. The side effects of the vaccine itself will be intensified in this case,

Dogs should not be vaccinated directly after strenuous exercise. Dogs should be vaccinated after they have fully recovered.

For the first vaccination, you must give it 3 times. Only one dose will have no effect.

Vaccines must be stored refrigerated at 2-8°C. Freezing or keeping them at room temperature for more than 30 minutes may cause the vaccine to become ineffective.

Why vaccines fail

Vaccines occasionally fail to protect against immunity. Why is this?

1. Fake vaccines, fraud has always been a lingering nightmare.

2. Vaccines must be refrigerated and have strict requirements for transportation and storage. Problems in any link will cause the vaccine to become ineffective.

3. Vaccine injections must comply with time requirements, and the interval between two injections cannot be too short. Otherwise, the dog’s immune system does not have enough time to respond, which may also cause immune failure.

4. Some dog breeds have genetic immune deficiencies. For example, Rottweilers have no resistance to parvovirus, and they often receive multiple vaccinations in a row without any increase in antibodies.

5. Even if nothing goes wrong, there is a small probability that vaccine immunity will fail. Don't panic, just give it another shot.

Adverse reactions to vaccines

Now variousBig brands claim that their vaccines are safe. However, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the vaccine, mainstream vaccines all use live vaccine technology, that is, the virus or bacteria is artificially mutated so that it loses its pathogenic ability, but retains its immunogenicity, reproductive ability and residual virulence. It is also called an attenuated vaccine. .

But live vaccines also have a weak ability to cause disease, which is due to the reproduction ability of viruses and bacteria in live vaccines. In the process of rapid reproduction, there is a very small probability that atavism will occur and actual viruses and bacteria with pathogenic capabilities will be produced. But the number is very small. Stimulated by the vaccine, healthy dogs will produce antibodies in time to eliminate all viruses and bacteria, including pathogenic viruses and bacteria produced through atavism.

This is also the reason why rabies vaccines are all inactivated.

So, when injecting vaccines, you must make sure your dog is healthy.

After the immune system is stimulated by the vaccine, it enters the immune response stage. At this stage, some dogs will experience loss of appetite, mild diarrhea, and poor spirits. If you feel that your dog has an adverse reaction after being vaccinated, please go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Although it is safe in most cases, safety comes first. Among vaccine adverse reactions, the most serious ones may be life-threatening.

Vaccine related technology has been developed for more than 200 years and is very mature, safe and reliable. The idea of ​​rejecting vaccines has emerged in the United States in the past few years, which has led to the re-emergence of many infectious diseases that had disappeared.

So, don’t stop eating because of choking, and be sure to vaccinate your dog on time!

Frequently Asked Questions about Vaccination

1. Can female dogs be vaccinated when they are in estrus?

If you do not plan to breed, the female dog can be vaccinated during estrus. Otherwise, it is not recommended and can be postponed to one month after the delivery is completed and after the puppy is weaned.

2. Can a pregnant female dog be vaccinated?

Vaccination is not recommended during pregnancy. It is recommended that the female dog be vaccinated after the puppy is one month old and weaned.

3. Can female dogs be vaccinated during lactation?

Vaccination is not recommended for bitches during lactation and should be vaccinated after weaning.

4. Can different brands be mixed?

Yes, but you need to pay attention to the immunity range of the vaccine. For example, if you take the first and second injections of Chongbiwei® Youwukang, and then use Weijia®8 for the third injection, then only the five diseases provided by Chongbiwei® Youfukang may be effective, and The extra part of Weijia®8 than Petway® Youwukang has no effect because there is only one shot.

Notes

1. Chongbiwei® Youwukang, commonly known as Quadruple, provides four diseases: canine distemper, adenovirus type 2 infectious hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza. of immunity. However, adenovirus type 2 strains can provide adenovirusVirus type 1 and type 2 immunity, so in fact the quadruple combination can prevent 5 diseases. Similar to Weijia® Five.

2. Recombitek® and Weijia® eighth-grade combined vaccine are different. They are a group of vaccines. Not a vaccine. This product should be related to the recent rise in vaccination methods in the United States. It should be part of the vaccine marketing strategy. But in theory, the fewer diseases a vaccine protects against, the easier it is to technically provide better protection.
